Free Y4 maths worksheet: More addition in your head (pg 2)
Perhaps the most efficent is to add 40 to 67 to make 107 and then add on the extra 6 to make 113.
It’s been a while since I posted anything for year 4 so here is another addition worksheet. Not easy, and a number of skills need to have been learned to do these in an efficient manner.
For example: looking at ‘add 46 to 67’.
There a a number of ways to do this. Perhaps the most efficient is to add 40 to 67 to make 107 and then add on the extra 6 to make 113.
The second part of the sheet is a reminder of some of the ways that addition questions can be phrased.

Another set of questions using tables and charts. Children often get confused by questions which say that an event was earlier or later when looking at a calendar.

Booster maths worksheet: Shape (p 1)
An old favourite with the SATs question writers is reflective symmetry. During the test children are given tracing paper or a small mirror. If using the mirror they need to line it up along the dotted line and draw the reflection. if the shape is drawn on squared paper it can be easier to draw it by hand taking each square in turn.
Addition worksheet: adding 3 to a single number
simple addition of single digits, keeping below 10
Here is another in our series of simple addition of single digits, keeping below 10. At first children will count on, probably using their fingers or apparatus such as cubes. In time they need to be able to remember the answers off by heart – but this takes an awful lot of practice.
